    Young Frankenstein was such a great film and a great pairing with Richard Pryor in Stir Crazy. RIP

    Brilliant comic actor

    If there was a heaven , I'd like to think he and Richard Prior would be having a ball tonight.

    I know , Nobody got on with Prior not even his own family but the thought is a nice idea.

    RIP. Two totally iconic roles. Did anyone see his letter setting out his ideas for Willy Wonka? Really interesting to see an actor basically making a character.

    Iconic actor. The Producers is my favourite comedy film along with Life of Brian.

    Love that scene in Willy Wonka.
    Really liked him in The Producers Blazing Saddles Silver Streak and Young Frankenstein.

    One of the funniest comedians ever, a hugely talented man. A really sad loss.

    Young Frankenstein was on a few weeks ago, just bed wettingly funny (and had the incomparable Marty Feldman to boot).
